[PATCH] HID: bpf: reject oversized device events before copying
From: Mark Amirkan via B4 Relay
Date: Sun Sep 13 2026 - 20:17:34 EST
From: Mark Amirkan <markdamirkan@xxxxxxxxx>
HID-BPF allocates its device-event buffer from the largest report in the
device's parsed report descriptor. dispatch_hid_bpf_device_event() then
copies the transport-provided report into that buffer before checking its
size.
An input report larger than the allocated event buffer therefore causes
a heap out-of-bounds write when a device-event program is attached. The
later check of the BPF program's return value cannot prevent the initial
copy.
Reject reports that exceed either the transport buffer or the persistent
HID-BPF event buffer before clearing or copying the data.
With a 64-byte event allocation, a same-file KUnit test produced a
one-byte KASAN out-of-bounds write for a 65-byte report in three runs.
The 64-byte boundary remained clean. After this change, both cases were
clean in three runs and the oversized report returned -EINVAL. The test
exercised the production dispatch function but not the complete UHID and
BPF attachment path.
